, i knew itCommon names don't work for pikes....not really....lol. So i have no idea which pike you are talkin about. It sounds like a type of Saxatilis pike though, just by the way you described it and all. Pictures are most helpful....
here is a good link to some pike info and pics

Just watch out for the band width...lol...its a killa! But tis a great site! One of my 'bookmarked' sites......also keep in mind most of the pike pictures on there are of adults.... Lugubris pikes juv. look nothing like adults for the most part. Saxatilis pikes are a little better about this, lookin a lot like the juv wit some changes.
